Aretha Franklin - Soul Serenade Lyrics






Only you can hear my soul serenade...

I want to be free to fly away and sing to the world
About my soul... serenade!
My soul serenade...

When you're not around, there's a lonely sound
In my soul serenade...
In my soul serenade...

Everyone but you adores me,
But oh, do you know pretty soon they bore me?
Let me tell you right now that they bore me!
They bore me with their pretty little words,
Those pretty little words of devotion...
But, oh, let me tell you right now, my message to 'em this evening
Is they can jump in anybody's ocean!
Because only you hear my soul... my soul serenade!
My soul serenade...
Oh, my soul serenade....
My soul serenade...

    I have this album, I was 17 years old when it came out . This was one of my favorites but everything on the album was the bomb. Aretha Franklin was definitely the Queen and no one can ever replace THE QUEEN OF SOUL, it's been 52 years and I've heard them all. LONG LIVE THE MUSIC OF THE QUEEN OF SOUL. RIP Aretha Franklin.

    Only you
    Can hear my soul
    Serenade

    I want to be free to fly away and sing to the world
    About my soul serenade, my soul serenade

    When you're not around there's a lonely sound
    In my soul serenade, in my soul serenade

    Everyone but you adores me
    But oh, do you know pretty soon they bore me

    Let me tell you right now that they bore me
    They bore me with their pretty little words

    Those pretty little words of devotion

    But oh, let me tell you right now
    My message to 'em this evening
    Is they can jump in anybody's ocean

    Because only you hear my soul
    My soul serenade, my soul serenade
    Oh, my soul serenade, my soul serenade
